SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 693,284, dated February11, 190.?.

Application led July 15, 1901. Serial No. 68,349. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES R. LEMON, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Scio, in the county of Harrison and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Corn Holders, of

vwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to vcertain new and useful improvements incorn-holders, and is more particularly employed as a holder forroasting-ears.

The invention has for its object the provision of novel means whereby aroastingear maybe securely held in position While eating the corn;furthermore, to provide means that will allow the easy withdrawal of thedevice from the cob when desired.V

A still further object of my invention is to construct a device of theabove described class that will be extremely simple in construction,strong, durable, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture,and highlyefficient in its use.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists inthenovelcombination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter morefully described, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, forminga part of this speciiicatiomand whereinvlike numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views, in which- -v Figure lisa side elevation of a roasting-earhaving myiinproved holder attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a partial verticalsectional View of one of the holders, taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 3looking in the direction of the arrow.

Fig. 4 is a side Fig. 3 is a front elevation.

Fig. 5 is a elevation of the fork and sleeve.

fork carrying a rounded shank and a square end 3, terminating in a point4, this square end 3 being providedwith a pin 5.

The reference-numeral 6 kindicatesa sleeve having a slot 7 formedtherein for thereception of the pin 5.

The reference-numeral 8 indicates a cylindrical casing slidingly securedupon the inserted in the ends of the cob, as shown in Fig. 1 of thedrawings. When it is desired to remove the same, the sleeve 6 isoperated inwardly toward the cob, which will disengage the pointtherefrom, thereby removing the same.

The many advantages obtained by the use of my improved device will bereadily appar ent from the foregoing description, taken in connectionwith the accompanying drawings.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details ofconstruction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having fully described inyinvention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Let'- ters Patent, is

In a corn-holder, the combination of a casing, ribs carried by saidcasing, a ring carried by said ribs, a fork carrying said casing, asleeve in which said fork is slidingly secured, and means to limit themovement of said fork vwithin said sleeve, all parts being arranged andoperating substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I afx my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.

CHARLES R. LEMON.
